Additional Location Information

Bring your pole for that "fisherman's dream"... the Tennessee Little River, which you can marvel at from your private deck at "Refuge." As you are enjoying the serenity of nature, you can gaze across the river and see the occasional hazy 'smoke' boiling over the mountaintops, which gives the majestic Smokies their name. Townsend has a three-mile bike trail, a fly fishing school, occasional bluegrass/molasses festivals, gorgeous mountain golf greens with swimming pool access, nice dining, hiking trails, horseback riding, gobs of tubing opportunities, and is within seven miles of historic Cades Cove. You're only 18 miles from Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, Gatlinburg, music theaters, outlet malls, and activities of all sorts. Play like a squirrel...run out for the goodies then retreat to your little nest on the "peaceful side" of the Smokies in Townsend, Tennessee. It all awaits you at River Bluff Cabins in the Smokies.

Romance and serenity nestled in the warmth of the beautiful Great Smoky Mountains...a cabin beyond exquisite, surrounded by peace, and the wonders of God. You'll find yourself sitting on your balcony awe- stricken at nature while listening to the soothing sounds of the Little Tennessee River below. 'Refuge' is a 24' x 28' authentic log cabin complete with a tin roof to enjoy the rain! Made of white-pine timber with tall cathedral ceilings and exposed beams, this one-room cabin makes you feel snug, yet its structure with plenty of windows to view the woodlands, gives you a wide open feeling of being out there with nature. A super comfortable king bed awaits you. If you bring company, they can rest on the 'Snuggler' a fancy name for a sofa-sleeper and the kids can sleep in the three sleeping bags we provide in the loft area.

“A True Mountain Refuge”

Left on 06/25/2016 for a stay in June 2016 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Jun 25, 2016Stayed Jun 2016

My wife and I stayed at the "Refuge" cabin to celebrate our anniversary. Some words that come to mind are: quiet, peaceful, romantic, beautiful and relaxing. The owner has created a delightful getaway spot in an equally delightful little town. We very much enjoyed our too-short stay at this cabin, and would love to visit again. Highly recommended!

“Perfect Winter Wonderland Stay!”

We love Refuge so much! I can't say enough about this cabin with a loft! The big porch overlooking the river is perfect, even when it's cold and snowing! So great to watch the wildlife from there. The Jacuzzi tub inside is perfect to watch the fire and look outside through the huge windows. If you want to get away, this is the place. It's on the quiet side of the mountain and anything you need isn't far away at all. It's in the perfect setting! We can't wait to stay there again!

“Home away from home!”

If your looking for a weekend getaway or a week's worth of relaxation, then head to Refuge! My family and I have stayed here multiple times and have loved it each time. Sit on the bluff above the river, steps from The Great Smoky Mountains. Literally 15 minutes from Cades Cove! Townsend is called the 'Peaceful Side of the Smokies' stay in Refuge and find out why!
